This classic sewing essential provides a firm protective surface for pushing a hand-sewing needle through fabric, making it particularly useful when working with dense materials, multiple layers or repetitive stitches. The dimpled surface helps catch the end of the needle as pressure is applied, providing greater control and helping reduce slipping while you sew. The dimples extend across the top and upper sides of the thimble, allowing the needle to be pushed from different working angles. Its metal construction provides a strong barrier between your fingertip and the needle, making this thimble a practical addition to any hand-sewing or mending kit. Ideal for hand sewing, garment construction, mending, quilting and general needlework, a thimble is especially helpful for projects where the needle requires additional pressure to pass through the fabric. Fit: This thimble is Size M (Medium). A properly fitting thimble should sit securely on your finger without feeling excessively tight and should remain comfortably in place while sewing.
